uSecureProp LLC wants to make security monitoring companies a thing of the past. The Jacksonville, Fla.-based company recently received a U.S. patent for a simple and elegant self-monitoring solution that attaches to any existing home or business alarm system.

It uses the customer?s own wi-fi to send security-related alerts directly to a smartphone.

This process eliminates the need for an alarm monitoring company?? which is nothing but amiddleman?? by performing this function without monthly or annual fees.

Considering that most U.S. homeowners pay, on average, about $35 monthly for alarm service, uSecureProp notes its device will pay for itself in less than 3 months. This device has the potential to become a huge disruptor for the multibillion-dollar security monitoring business sector. 

Why do you need a middleman?… When YOU can do it!

What do monitoring companies do when they receive an alarm? They call the first phone number associated with that customer. This process typically takes up to a minute.

uSecure?s approach practically eliminates any delay by immediately pushing an alert to one or more selected mobile phones. These alerts are typically received within 1-2 seconds. Users also have the option to receive notifications as text or email messages.

When a registered smartphone receives an alert, the uSecureProp app launches, provides information about the alert, and presents a screen with shortcuts to call 911 and up to 3 predefined/stored numbers.

An optional feature allows alerts to be sent to alternate recipients to serve as an escalation list. Source: usecurehome.com
